On the contrary, the interface for changing the ntp settings or servers is accessible. It's in the Date and Time dialog box on the Internet Time page. There is a Settings... button.

This makes only good sense and my computer time does seem to be a couple minutes off from time to time. Unfortunately, I sync. My computer time with my cuckoo clock at home to set it when the cuckoo is not correct and when the computer is not either, then not good. On another note, I once had an excellent program for a cuckoo clock to sound appropriately when working on the computer. It was wonderful. Changing computers, I lost that program. Does anybody know what I am talking about and how I can get that program again? That would be a terrific find. Thanks for all information and your excellent description, Erik. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Erik Heil Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2014 10:24 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Unable to use Dimension 4 Time Program Hello, In the versionof Windows that you are running, this program is not at all required anymore. Since Windows Vista, and possibly Windows XP, Windows has a built-in NTP client. It runs in the background and will synch your clock with a configured NTP server every 7 days or so. I'm not sure whether this value can be changed in the Windows registry, because I know for a fact that it is not available to be changed within the user interface. So, if you like, you can do some searches on Google if you require mor accurate time. For most people though, the ammount of drift a clock experiences is not at all noticeable. Depending on how good your RTC chip is and the condition of the CMOS battery in your system can greatly affect the ammount of drift that you experience. The built-in NTP client on Windows may or may not calculate drift and make very small adjustmenets to your realtime clock. This would have the effect that your clock would have more accurate time over a longer period of time that the daemon/service is running.
